This test should be an easy task for the pairing Eder/Kirchler as both are going way back and have shared the running hobby for many years now. Both athletes who were born in 1974 are also competing together with other members of LC Fochina in several mountain races and therefore will bring in some experience as “Team Prettau” has successfully completed the Drei-Zinnen-Marathon and the Tiefrasten-Xtrem-Lauf.

Another advantage could be the knowledge of the local landscape because Erich and Helmuth explore the nature around their home towns with ski tours during winter time – including trips through the Zillertal Alps and the Nature Park Rieserferner which will be also cut across at this year’s GORE-TEX™ Transalpine-Run.

Despite all sportive goals, both runners are not so stickler for ambition: “The joy of running also includes cosy parties after every run. We are looking forward to a cool wheat beer in Sexten!”
